On the first day of my internship,I basically didn't do any work at all.I only had to go to the NYU Employment Services for a medical examination. But before that,I took two short quizzes on the NYU Medical Center Infection Surveillance Department, and the NYU Center Fire Emergency Procedures and Fire Extinguisher Use.

Some of the highlights of the first week was when I assisted a program(on tuesday from 4:30pm to 6:00pm),where a lot of doctors and nurses shared their work and experiences with us.This program was offered to any volunteer of the NYU Medical Center. It was really fun!!!


Please answer some logistical questions...

When do you leave school?
I leave school around 11:45am, after eating a quick lunch in the school cafeteria.

How long does it take you to get to your internship?
It only takes me 30-40mns(depending on the train) to get to my internship site, because I only have to take the L train to 14th street Union Square(which only takes me 25mns), then transfer to the 6 train to get off at 33rd street(the 3rd stop after 28th st).

When do you arrive at home?
It depends on my schedule.For example:On Monday,Wednesday, and Thursday,I finish at 4:00pm;so I can arrive home around 5:00pm. But on Tuesdays,I finish at 6:00pm because of the program.So get home by 7:00pm.

What is your schedule? (What days do you work and for how long each day?)
I work four days a week. On Monday,Wednesday,and Thursday,I work from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. On Tuesday,I work from 3:00pm to 6:00pm.

The only two people that can sign my time card are my mentor claudia Ayash and her co-worker Danielle. Ms Danielle only signs my card when Claudia is not there.

NO!Everything is fine with me...
